"Dancing into the Sunset at Kerry Park"

 

To whom it may concern:

“A Bride’s Choice Photo” is becoming Joe Meadows Photo

   A few years ago I received a letter starting out like this from my Dentist who was about to retire. “With deep sorrow, and great regret I have decided to retire.”  I had always enjoyed and trusted his advice, and consul, along with top notch Dentistry, so I thought it might be a way to end the long journey as a Wedding Photographer.

  Since 1985 I had the wonderful pleasure be able to share this special day with hundreds of you.  After June 1st, 2012 I will no longer be accepting commissions as a wedding photographer, except on a very limited scale.

  I wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you for helping me do what I love to do, Make Photographs. I have been deeply touched by the tender moments, and great appreciation you have given me over the years, and all of your Thank You notes kept me going.

  It has been quite a ride though. Living the life of a photographer was my dream for the past 35 years. Although many of you know I was trained as a commercial photographer, and I kind of fell into shooting weddings to supplement that income. As Ted Ward, my commercial photography mentor said “You have to wear many hats to make it as a photographer.” Ted passed away suddenly 22 years ago. I wonder what he would say today with digital cameras that record so quickly they literally are video like still images.  When Ansel Adams coined the phrase, “I don’t take pictures, I make photographs” or something to that effect, I wonder what he would think today?  

But I am not retiring from photography just yet, just weddings.

  So if you need a Family Portrait made, or any other Event, Commercial, or Magazine assignment, shoot me an email joemeadowsphoto(at)gmail(dot)com, or give me a call (206) 783-2239

Joe Meadows Photography is still alive and well.

Best Regards, and Thanks for the Memories!

Joe Meadows

 

Congratulations & Welcome

  As the excitement of your wedding day grows, keep in mind that all you will have to remember your "Once in a Lifetime Moments", are   your pictures.   As the years and decades go by, this investment gains in value.  For some people, their photographs are their most valuable possession, because that is who they are, and where they've been.   After your wedding day has long since past, when the flowers are wilted, and guests are gone, all that is left  are your pictures.  Their value is both an intangible and real sentiment, and comes through the eyes of the photographer you choose. 

The Art of Emotion      

  A Bride's Choice Photography is a blend of the Traditional 'Elegant Formal'  Portrait photo style, and the Emotional-journalistic Style, because it is more relaxed, casual and spontaneous.  It's your love and joy you want to remember, through your pictures.  Capturing feeling on film requires a lifetime of practice, like a budding musician who plays scales to the point that the mechanics become intuitive, and you no longer hear the mechanics, just the sounds "And  with feeling!" 

 Creating photographs is what I do best and the emotional reward from happy couples is priceless.  Most couples that select us do so, because they value their Wedding images. Appreciating the difference between the creation of "Priceless-Treasures" vs. ordinary 'snapshots', is what makes us A Bride's Choice Photography.

   With over 25 years experience as a Professional Wedding Photographer.  I have had the honor to be selected to record on film, hundreds of brides.  Each wedding for me, becomes a personal moment shared.  Time stops, for a moment.  People say after seeing my work," Your pictures are Real", "Natural", "That's exactly how I wanted to remember my wedding day!"
